Abstract
The study contains the previously unpublished diary of Pinkus Blumenfeld, the original of which is in the Kibbutz Ghetto Fighters House Archives. No further details about the author are available; it is known that during the Warsaw Uprising he was hiding with his 12-year-old son Jerzy in the Old Town. He left behind a unique document, a testament to his dramatic efforts to survive in fighting Warsaw.
